One surprising cut each NFL team could make for 2020
By Randy Gurzi
Seattle Seahawks: Paul Richardson, Wide Receiver
Yes, they just signed him, but Paul Richardson isn’t a lock for the Seattle Seahawks roster. Originally drafted by Seattle back in 2014, Richardson was with the Seahawks for four seasons before heading to Washington for two years.
He struggled with health and consistency and now is in a crowded receiving corps that includes Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf, Phillip Dorsett, Josh Gordon and David Moore. It won’t be easy to make that roster even with his familiarity with the team.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Ronald Jones, Running Back
There was a belief that this season would be huge for Ronald Jones as the former USC running back had a much better 2019 campaign than he did the year prior. As a rookie in 2018, Jones averaged just 1.9 yards per rush and finished with 44 yards and a touchdown.
In his second season, he improved drastically as he went for 724 yards and six touchdowns and he added 309 yards as a receiver. And with Tom Brady coming in, there was an expectation that he could be even better.
That’s up in the air now since Tampa Bay has added Ke’Shawn Vaughn, LeSean McCoy and even more recently Leonard Fournette. It’s possible Jones can still be the No. 2 guy behind Fournette, but the Bucs wouldn’t be making all these moves at running back if they were sold on him.
